# printOS

## How to setup

### Requirements

- NASM

- gcc && g++

- Qemu (`sudo apt install qemu qemu-utils qemu-system-x86 qemu-system-gui`)

### Start development

1. Download a GNU-EFI source code. Place it in the `bootloader/gnuefi` directory.

2. `./init.sh`

### Run OS

Tool chain: `./recompile.sh && ./build-img.sh && ./run.sh`

## Kernel

64-bit simple hobby kernel written in C++ for educational purpose and fun.

### Features

- [x] CPUID - state and features checking

- [x] Framebuffer (double-buffering) driver, writing output, colors

- [x] Basic read-only console (+ auto-scroll)

- [x] GDT - flat model

- [x] Physical memory allocator

- [x] Virtual memory - 64-bit paging

- [x] IDT - basic interrupts

- [x] Very basic libc (it will be written further if needed)

- [x] Kernel panic && asserts

- [x] ACPI support

- [X] Local APIC and I/O APIC support

- [X] High Precision Event Timer (HPET): one-shot and periodic mode

- [X] Heap (kmalloc & free)

- [ ] PS/2 driver (keyboard support)

- [ ] All x86 exceptions

- [ ] Uniprocessor multitasking

- [ ] User mode

- [ ] Virtual relocation over 0xFFFFFFFF

## Bootloader (UEFI)

My GNU-EFI (UEFI) bootloader written in C for fun and education.

### Features

- [x] Reading kernel file from drive

- [x] ELF kernel parsing and loading into memory

- [x] Framebuffer initialization

- [x] Memory map gathering

- [x] Psf font loading

- [x] ACPI support

- [x] Error checking

- [x] Jumping into kernel
